NetDocuments is a hybrid, remote-friendly workplace. Come join our team and work inspired each day! 

What You’ll Do 

NetDocuments has just unveiled a major redesign of the platform our customers rely on every day. The new experience is built on a foundation that captures how the matters, documents, and people inside a firm connect — so AI can work the way legal professionals actually work. The launch is being covered as one of the most significant platform shifts in legal technology this year, and our CPO has called it the deepest piece of platform engineering we have ever shipped. 

This is the team behind a major piece of that experience: the next-generation web application, the design system that gives it shape, the surfaces customers touch every day, and the integrations that bring AI-driven document understanding into the product. We’re seeking an Engineering Manager to lead one of the engineering teams building it. 

The work is in flight. We’re shipping to real customers, sharpening the experience, and growing the team. You’ll join at a formative moment for the platform — when leadership decisions, technical bets, and team-building habits compound for years. 

This is one of the largest strategic investments NetDocuments has made. The Engineering Manager who leads this team will help shape what NetDocuments becomes — and grow the leadership skills and experience that pave the way for future opportunities. 

A few principles shape this work and the candidates we’re looking for in this role: 

  • Validate, then scale. We ship to real users early, learn fast, and earn our way to production hardening as the product proves its value. 
  • AI-forward. The new platform is not a refreshed UI on the old product — it’s designed around what AI makes possible. 
  • Customer feedback drives the roadmap. What we build next, and when, is shaped by what customers tell us matters most. 
  • Built from the ground up. We’re not patching the past. We’re building a new foundation that meets a higher bar for usability, reliability, and intelligence. 

In this role, you will: 

Lead and develop a high-performing team 

  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of approximately 5–6 software engineers and software test engineers. 
  • Foster a culture of trust, collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement. 
  • Partner with recruiting to attract and hire exceptional engineering talent. 
  • Support career growth through mentorship, feedback, and performance development. 
  • Create the conditions for engineers to do their best work. 

Drive delivery and execution 

  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and platform engineering teams to turn customer needs into scalable software solutions. 
  • Help build and execute a roadmap that balances customer-facing impact, technical excellence, and long-term platform durability. 
  • Guide your team through planning, execution, and delivery while holding a high bar for quality. 
  • Lead through ambiguity — sequencing the work, derisking it, and adjusting as we learn from real users. 

Collaborate cross-functionally 

  • Coordinate across multiple engineering teams contributing to a shared product vision — a meaningful portion of this role is unlocking work that crosses team boundaries. 
  • Communicate priorities, risks, and progress clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. 
  • Build the partnerships that drive alignment and execution across the organization. 

Provide technical leadership 

  • Provide technical guidance and architectural input while empowering engineers to own implementation details. 
  • Champion modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, cloud-native architectures, observability, automated testing, and scalable system design. 
  • Advocate for highly reliable, maintainable, and secure software. 
  • Promote best practices in usability, accessibility, and front-end architecture as the team builds customer-facing experiences and a design system that scales. 

Shape culture and innovation 

  • Foster a growth mindset and a culture of continuous learning. 
  • Encourage experimentation, thoughtful problem-solving, and learning from incidents. 
  • Cultivate transparency, ownership, and customer impact across the team. 
  • Support knowledge sharing and technical excellence across teams. 

What You’ll Need to Be Successful 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7+ years of software engineering experience.
  • 2+ years leading engineering teams, including both software engineers and software test engineers.
  • Experience building and delivering enterprise-scale, customer-facing software products.
  • Strong understanding of modern software development practices, including cloud platforms, CI/CD, distributed systems, and scalable architectures.
  • Proven ability to lead teams through ambiguity while balancing execution and technical quality.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Demonstrated success building high-performing teams and delivering impactful software. 

What Will Make You Stand Out 

  • Experience shipping AI-native product surfaces — features built around what AI makes possible, not bolted onto an existing product.
  • Experience leading teams that build modern web applications, design systems, or platform-scale SaaS products.
  • Experience in legal technology, professional-services SaaS, or other regulated enterprise software where data sensitivity matters.
  • A track record of mentoring engineers and developing future technical leaders.
  • Familiarity with design-system or component-library work as a first-class engineering discipline. 

What You’ll Love About NetDocuments 

  • The People! 
  • 90% healthcare premiums company covered 
  • HSA company contribution 
  • 401K match at 4% with immediate vesting 
  • Flexible PTO (typically 3 to 4 weeks a year) 
  • 10 paid holidays 
  • Monthly contributions for life activities & wellness 
  • Access to LinkedIn learning with monthly dedicated time to explore

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
